I Miss My Friendster Account

Lately I’ve been strolling down memory lane and in one of my journeys back in time, I have recalled my Friendster account. I could still remember the craze of the first social network that really hit the crowd (at least the first that I know of).

Recalling all the efforts just to make the account updated really amuses me. Back then, internet connection was still a bit pricey. Once a week, I allot a time in my lunch break to update my account and stalk friends, crushes and their crushes (if they happen to be not ME. Forgive me for my conceitedness). I can still imagine the sun’s scorching heat as I walk noontime to visit the internet cafe and I still have to save at least Php20.00 for an hour rent for an internet connection that lives up to the very definition of SLOW. I also have to save money for scanning hard copies of pictures (and scanning that time was really expensive as there were only 2-3 scanners available in town).

I admit it was my bad that I have not saved all my stuff despite the numerous notifications of Friendster’s scheduled deletion of accounts. Good thing I have a very few of the testimonials from high school friends. Just sharing. 

Reading these again made me smile. I just miss my high school friends. I miss my high school days. I miss my Friendster account and the memories in there.
